TNT Program Application for Spring 2024 (March 4~15) 

This is to inform about the KUBS TNT (Tutor & Tutee) Program, designed for undergraduate students.  

Recognizing that many students engage in part-time tutoring outside of school, we have established this program to enable students to provide academic support to their fellow undergraduate and international students on campus who may be facing challenges with their major coursework. In return, participating tutors can receive scholarships.  

We are currently seeking tutors who can assist their peers with their major studies and tutees who require academic assistance. This program's primary objective is to not only enhance students' academic performance but also foster meaningful interactions among students. 

The TNT Program will offer in-person meetings at study rooms.
